Michael: And so it begins...

First note that I am in the GFX lab until late tonight and will readily welcome any game jammers.

Now:

My "Design Document" (if you play fast and loose with that definition):

Multiplayer Space Dogfight Game, played on a 3-Torus. Inspired by Star Wars Rogue Squadron III, and old F-22 flight simulators I played growing up.


3-Torus: A cube with identified faces, analagous to a square torus in 2 dimensions. Two sides with identical labels in the figure are *exactly the same position in space*. Kinda like pac-man: if you go off the left side of the screen, you come in the right, except for 3 dimensions.

Wishlist in rough priority order

• Follow camera
• XBOX controller free roam space-flight
• Brakes/boost system
• Simple Projectiles
• Health system
• Move to 3-Torus (!!)
• Minimap(!)
• Split-Screen  2-person Multiplayer
• Particle System / shaders to look better
• Homing secondary projectile
• Completely hacked together network multiplayer
• Powerups
• Make everything look good

Simple right?
